Taronga doesn’t just care for wildlife at our two Zoos, we’re also a part of vital Recovery, Research, Breeding and Rehabilitation programs. So, what’s the difference? And what does this all mean?
Taronga's breeding programs help sustain healthy and resilient animal populations in human care. We work with zoos across Australia and around the world to carefully manage populations by protecting genetic diversity and ensuring high standards of animal welfare. This helps safeguard species for the future. 
Many animals are rehabilitated in Taronga’s Wildlife Hospitals. These animals are brought in sick or injured, and cared for and treated to hopefully be released back into the wild.
